Episode notes
Heal Independently Of Your Partner
- Do the inner work even if your partner won't; find external anchors and supports.
- You retain agency to heal with others even when your partner opts out of doing the work.
Attachment Is A Wheel, Not A Box
- Attachment exists on a wheel from secure to disorganized, with anxious on one axis and avoidant on the other.
- Single relationships or parents can contain pockets of different attachment experiences rather than one fixed label.
Pick Anchors Who Track Your Body
- Choose therapists or anchors who slow you down and ask where sensations live in your body.
- Avoid practitioners who rush conversation and neglect somatic tracking and co-regulation.
